ALCOHOL

Such a pleasure to watch people starting their business, rushing to work, then having a sip of coffee in a cafeteria, and finally coming back home or heading to restaurants or bars. With a glass of wine in hand, some strong alcoholic drinks or beer, cervejarias and pubs were full of people.

When I think about Sapporo, I think about Winter Olympics in 1972. And there is much more to do and see than only a ski jump. One of the towns that are close to Sapporo is Otaru. A nice, little town, with great buildings, some remaining historical architecture and brewery!

As time was still good for Lebanese Beaujolais Nouveau, we had a chance to taste jeune wines from Château Musar. Musar Jeune Blanc, Rouge and Rosé are all bottled and labeled in the same way. The label is simple, minimalistic in the design and elegant.

Château Musar is located not far away from Beirut. Just 25 to 30 km north from the capital. The town is also worth visiting as it has a nice atmosphere, medieval look and looks as it could look like hundred of years ago.
